Locking Up the Sun

They're locking up the sun

The light of reason's gone

And hope has been successfully undone

The question's burnin' on

Where is it coming from?

No one seems to know, the monster born

It's a bad trip on a sinkin' trip

When no one seems responsible

Scapegoat to rock the boat

Yeah, we need someone expendable

Volunteers to face the fears

Can we be sensible

And find a way to break the fall?

Find out the cure for all

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day?

Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time?

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away?

Who doesn't turn a blind eye to a crime

They're lockin' up the sun

They have their chosen one

You know, this time, they'll make him play along

They're takin' to the arms

The fathers and their sons

There's nowhere left to run and hide

It's a bad trip on a sinkin' trip

When no one seems responsible

Scapegoat to rock the boat

Yeah, we need someone expendable

Volunteers to face the fears

Can we be sensible

And find a way to break the fall?

Find out the cure for all

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day

Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time?

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away?

Who doesn't turn a blind eye to a crime

And in the emptiness, there's a solution

Just look within yourself

For absolution

And in the emptiness, there's a solution
